I started with Palm fever, but then i got really sick with the Musa fever.
Nice Trachy ! I never saw it with large leaves of this size ! I didn't knew that the difference could be this huge
I have different Trachycarpus in my garden. I have 4 fortunei. Those 4 fortunei have all different leaves. I'm in love with Trachycarpus specie. They are very tolerant, not only for cold, also soil and different light conditions. You can even grow it easily indoors in a pot if you would want to do that. They are a real champion in our climat, passing winters with almost no leafburn.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that there is much interspecie variation ( even in the Trachycarpus type, but this information speaks against that ). If it would mainly be about extern factors like light.
Very interesting information !
